I've brought students out many times to show them the store and allow them to look for fabrics for projects. The sample drapery and valances demonstrate great ideas and ways to decorate. This is my first stop when shopping for upholstery or drapery fabric. If they don't have what I want in stock I can usually find something in special order samples and can get it in ten to fifteen days. Good prices. Nice selection. Friendly people!

This is pretty simple. We ordered almost $2000 worth of blinds. That's just two blinds. When we…read moreordered them, we asked for delivery to the house which was an option made available to us. When my wife called on Friday for a status we were told that the blinds had in fact been delivered to their store and we could either wait a week or so for one of their employees to deliver it to us or we could just come and get them. They told my wife that the delivery company ignored their directions. Now, to be clear, it's only a 15 minute drive and I was happy to go pick them up. The issue was when I got there. I waited a good minute at the front desk while three employees stood at a different service counter staring at each other and wondering which one was going to have to come and help me. When one of them finally did, I gave her the name on the order and she indicated that "we don't have blinds under your name". I then gave her my wife's first name and the same last name and she then found the order. She told me that the blinds were in fact in their store somewhere and that she would have to go back and find them. She didn't seem very happy about that. When she finally came out carrying the blinds I offered to help but she dismissed that with a rude, "that's not necessary." Not once did anybody apologize for their failure to deliver the blinds as they had agreed to do originally. Not once did they thank me for our order or for coming to get them in lieu of one of their employees having to bring them out to the house. The lack of courtesy was fascinating to me. I'll never do business with them again.

I contacted Bay View Shade and Blinds to come measure my primary bedroom for custom window…read moretreatments. They are a local business that has been around for many years and I felt comfortable giving my business to them. In fact their new showroom is located in Waukesha not too far away from my new home. I called and set-up an appointment to have someone come out to measure and quote window treatments. My initial phone call was pleasant and the woman I spoke was very professional taking all my information down. She scheduled an appointment for me with Joel. Joel called before the scheduled appointment to let me knw h was on his way. We discussed what I was looking for based on my original phone conversation. During the visit, Joel was able to provide some options and a quote. I didn't really want to bother with shopping around and having more people out to measure and quote so I went ahead with the purchase. Joel measured all the windows, created the order and processed the deposit. He told me the shades are made locally and provided a 5 week lead time. He also stated that the installation would be very quick as their installers were very experienced. Joel was very knowledgeable and expeditious during his time at my house. The shades were actually ready in less than 5 weeks, more like a week and a half. I was contacted to set up an installation appointment right away. Sabrina was very nice and easy to work with to get that set up. Installation day arrived and prior to the guys coming they called 15 minutes ahead of schedule. They had finished up another project early. I cannot recall the installers names but they were both so polite and friendly. They made me feel at ease during the installation. It was all very quickly done. Upon completion the final payment was processed and off they went. And I was left alone with my new shades. The shades are well made and provide the blackout shading we required. I would highly recommend Bay View Shade to anyone in the market for new window coverings. The customer service is outstanding and products are locally made. I doubt they are the cheapest company around but I'm willing to pay for quality and service. I intend to use them again for future projects.

We had installed room darkening shades in our bedroom then and really liked the salesman and their efficiency then. The West sun made the room quite hot and prevented us from sitting comfortably in the afternoon. This year we finally made the call. Brandon was our superb salesman. He helped us pick out the best shade for our great room. This was a special order that was expertly installed by Tim and Matt.

I have been dealing with this nightmare for 1 1/2 years now. I hired Two Day to paint my newly…read morepurchased house in Fall of 2024. They sent clueless subcontractors who spoke no English, and caused extensive damage to my home. Two Day has refused many requests to fix anything unless I pay them in full first - leaving my new home in horrible shape all this time. They used a wood stain(NOT rated for metal, per the MDS) on all the metal downspouts, gutters, and patio door causing immediate and extensive bubbling/peeling of the paint. A proper fix would require everything to be completely striped and redone with a properly rated product, and the labor cost of doing so would be enormous. No other contractors I talked to wanted to touch it and recommended full replacement. My quoted replacement costs for the damaged items is just shy of $25,000! Two Day is now trying to sue me for full payment plus ridiculous fees and interest, while shirking any and all responsibility. It is due to a small clause in the contract that states "All disputes will go through NARI mediation and arbitration" that they have avoided taking any responsibility thus far. What the contract doesn't say, is that going through NARI(National Association Remodeling Industry), which Two Day is a member of, requires a $2000 non-refundable upfront fee! There is no way I was going to hand over an additional $2000 to their questionably 'unbiased' member organization just to get them to fix their mistakes and satisfy the original contract. As I refused to pay the $2000, Two Day and NARI conducted some kind of kangaroo arbitration hearing without me present, refusing to allow any of my evidence of their negligence and damage. The arbitrator only heard Two Day's lies and omissions and ruled in their favor. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Stay FAR away from Two Day Painting, and for that matter anyone whose contract demands that disputes must go through NARI's $2000 Clown Court. ------------------------- Re: Garret's response on April 8th I've never worked with you Garret on this matter. You haven't been out to my house to see the results. But I think the photos paint a pretty clear picture for everyone. The fact that you can't refute any of my points is also very telling for all. Despite the weaselly way you try to reword things and frame them in your favor, it's all essentially just lies by omission. Because you know full well: 1) You used a wood-only stain on the metal parts of my house against manufacturer specifications. Your negligence here is clearly documented. 2) All of your 'generous offers' were contingent on you getting paid in full first. As if I am foolish enough to give up all my leverage and just trust a company that has already demonstrated extreme negligence and damaged my property. 3) I absolutely did NOT ever refuse to participate in the mediation or present evidence. I refused to pay a surprise $2000 non-refundable fee to NARI that was never disclosed in your contract(you REALLY should!) - and because of that I WAS BARRED from showing up and presenting any of my extensive evidence. Why would someone throw away another $2000? When the best possible outcome would be NARI forcing you to send the same terrible workers of questionable legal status back out and hoping for a better outcome this time. Your MO is clear. Promise anything verbally - do everything you can to avoid it being documented in writing. Send the cheapest bargain basement subcontractors to do a rushed job. Then use your warranty to hold over dissatisfied customers heads so they don't complain or leave you bad reviews - because they already paid you in full and they are just hoping you will show some shred of decency and professionalism and maybe fix some things. If you had any at all, you would understand that it is unethical to negligently damage someones house using improper products for the material getting painted and then demand full payment before you will even attempt to fix it. You would understand that it is unethical to just ignore multiple items that were promised in the contract and in writing that objectively and admittedly went unfulfilled - and then demand full payment. As far as me "honoring the court's decision" - you know full well no such decision has been made because the matter has yet to see a courtroom. NARI's one-sided $2000 pay-to-play arbitration hearing is not court. I hope you can reflect on this and do the right thing Garret. I'll offer you the benefit of the doubt since it's possible you were not provided full information by Eric Rauterberg. But if not, let me be clear: You are not going to get away with this
